just to clarify; autoreconf *is* run during most builds, and *should* be
run, as the 'configure' file is (or may be) behind the 'configure.ac'
file, since patches to fix bugs go into the configure.ac file, not the
configure file.
The problem happens when the build *doesn't* run autoreconf, because the
timestamp of 'configure' is newer/equal to the timestamp of
'configure.ac'. Then the build runs using the old 'configure' file,
losing all fixes that have been put into the 'configure.ac' file.
This patch simply changes the build to always run autoreconf.
** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu Xenial)
